Espace Mémoriel de la Résistance et de la Déportation

L'Espace Mémoriel de la Résistance et de la Déportation (Memorial to Resistance and Deportation) traces the history of resistance and deportation in Agen and in the surrounding Lot-et-Garonne départment from 1939 through 1944. The memorial space contains period documents and objects, and is designed to capture the varied wartime experiences of citizens, local resistance groups, and those who faced or experienced deportation. Local history is presented through five key periods: The Outbreak of War (1939-1940), Resistance (1940-1941), Occupation and Repression (1943), Concentration (1943), and Liberation (1944).
